Senior 2D Pixel Art Artist-Animator

We are a small team developing a 2D Midcore Idle RPG in Pixel Art style. Due to the active development of the project, we are looking for a Senior Artist-Animator ready for independent work: to assess the scope of tasks and propose visual solutions within the project's style.

🎮 Responsibilities — Draw tile-based locations and environment; — Create UI elements in pixel art style (icons, banners); — Create characters (people, monsters, bosses); — Make frame-by-frame animation for characters and enemies (idle / attack / death); — Work with sprite sheets and limited palettes.

🛠 Requirements — Higher art education; — Commercial experience with Pixel Art for at least 1 year; — Portfolio with pixel art works (backgrounds, locations, environment, characters) and character animation (idle / attack / death, etc.); — Proficiency in Aseprite or Photoshop; — Ability to define and maintain the project's visual style, not just execute a ready-made technical specification; — Ability to independently assess the scope of tasks, decompose them, and propose a visual solution; — Experience working with sprite sheets / atlases and preparing assets for the engine (export, optimization).

❌ Not considered — No Pixel Art experience; — Portfolio without animation.

📌 Working Conditions — Fully remote; — Schedule: 12:00 to 21:00 MSK (1 hour lunch); — Full-time employment: 5/2, 8 working hours; — Employment format — self-employment; — No bureaucracy or reports — we focus on efficiency; — No strict hierarchy: if you know how to do better — suggest and argue; — Work in a small team with the opportunity to influence processes.

📩 How to apply — Write to Telegram: recruiter contact; — Attach a link to your portfolio with pixel art animation and specify which tool you use for Pixel Art.
